The Acceptable Quality Limit, commonly referred to as AQL, is a method widely used to measure a production order sample to find whether or not the entire product order has met the client's specifications. The customer then has the data to make an informed decision to accept or reject the lot.
There is a simple formula for determining the sample size for such validation studies. Assuming that an accept number of 0 is used, then the sample size is: n = 230/Spec-AQL. Substituting 1% for the Spec-AQL in this formula gives n = 230/1% = 230. The sampling plan n=230 and a=0 was examined in Example 1. It has an LTPD of 1.0% and AQL of 0.025%.
